The Crown Ridge Moose Hunt (Kyrl Dollimount) lyrics & video

Kyrl Dollimount notes:
“This is a true moose hunt story that was made into a song by Ellis Coles. It has not been widely published but I have loved the song since I heard it, and I wanted to let other Newfoundland moose hunters hear it. By the way, the case was dismissed because the moose was so close to the boundary of the restricted area that it was not certain weather the moose was killed in the area or not.”

Wolves have been labeled as many things, one that they have the ability, simply by their presence, to change the flow of streams and rivers, cause birds and beavers to appear in places supposedly destroyed by other animals in numbers not “controlled” by wolves through the magic of “balance of natural” or “natural regulation.”

We have all heard the swill from environmentalists how that, without the wolf, ecosystems are dysfunctional. Bring the wolf back and beavers multiply, more birds fly, elk and moose take extended vacations, and bank accounts grow.

Well, the wolf is so magical and mystical that evidently, it’s so damned intelligent (they do have social reasoning powers you know) it manages the ecosystem so there are more beavers and then sits down to a beaver meal shortly thereafter. Man, these creatures are smarter than a fifth-grader.
